At steady-state, an ideal gas enters a cempressor with a mass flow rate of 10.0 [mol/s]. Thei pressure is 1.00 bar and the inlet temperature is 25.0*C. The gas exits at 25.0 bar and 65.0°C. The ideal gas heat capacity is given by: nlet 4. cnm = 3.60 + 0.500 x 10-3T Where T is in [K]. a) Assuming the compressor is adiabatic, calculate the power (in kW) required. b) in the real process, there is a finite amount of heat transfer. If the compressor operates between the same initial state and final state as in Part A, will the actual power required be greater than, equal to, or less than that calculated in Part A? Explain.

Now the above solution of power requirement is valid for an adiabatic process which is not the case in reality. In reality we will have losses, both mechanical and frictional. So now the question is will more power be required or less

Now since the above Solution of adiabatic case was ideal didn't take care of any heat losses or frictional losses, additional energy will be required to overcome this losses and hence, in total we will actually more power than that calculated in part (A)
